We need leaders that will rid our country of the corruption.

[kentuck]

Beginning with the dirty money in our political system. There has to be campaign finance reform.

The Ethics Committees in our House and Senate need to have more teeth. They need to take honesty and ethics seriously.

As much as I hate to admit it, but we need term limits, especially for Supreme Court Justices. Corruption grows when it is not challenged.

Also, we need a return to patriotism. We need to respect our country and what we have fought and died for. Political Parties should never replace loyalty to our country.

We need a more fair system of progressive taxation. With the advent of new technology and instant billionaires, we need to think anew about how we distribute wealth for the benefit of all, rather than in the hands of a few.

We need to shrink government bureaucracies, such as the military industrial complex. We need to rid ourselves of waste and fraud in our government spending programs.

Most of all, we need leaders that are willing to stand up and tell people the truth.

1. We need another FDR.

[MutantAndProud]

2. Seconded.

Nothing short of that level of structural reform will defeat the new age naziism that has sprung up.

[Ocelot II]

3. FDR had a Democratic Congress.

[Irish_Dem]

4. I know it's a pipe dream.

[kentuck]

5. It's a pipe dream that we will never have another "Demcratic Congress"?

It's only a pipe dream if they do nothing.

[Irish_Dem]

8. It's a pipe dream that the US can be utterly transformed for the better in a short period of time.

[kentuck]

9. Agree. It cannot be done in a short period of time.

But it must be done if we are to survive, in my opinion.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Yes of course. The US is at a major crossroad and the outcome is quite uncertain.

[kentuck]

13. It does seem that we are at a crossroad.

In my opinion.

[Irish_Dem]

15. And we don't know what the American people will choose to do.

Or not do.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. And a Recession.

[c-rational]

6. Agreed.

[CanonRay]

11. We need a junkyard dog for Attorney General

Not a corporate shill ot Casper the Ghost.

[Bev54]

12. You have the leader, you just need to vote for the ones that can back your leader

to get the agenda done.

[kentuck]

16. It reminds me of the old Will Rogers quote:

" I belong to no organized political Party. I'm a Democrat."

[Claustrum]

14. I don't think term limit is the problem at the supreme court.

It's one party's fixation at putting ideologs in those positions by creating a system to funnel only the most right wing people up to those positions. Term limit or not, that has got to stop, or else, they will just replenish with a fresh new face that's just as horrible as the last.

[kentuck]

17. You're right about that.

The Supreme Court has the last word.
